rUw - i""3!Te A SERMON.
The Rev. Edward r.. Hale Tells How He
Compo,eS IA Pulpit Address.

If | have exactly my own way, | like ta
address myself TO this business Of writing
at time when | shall not be interrupted,
even for "a second. and when | may write
or dictate with as nearly the conditions of
public address as possible. | have little
faith in introducfions, so called, TO my
address. | dislike excessively the habit
of introducing the speaker either at a lee
rure or a dinner party. The man ought
10 be his own introduction. ! am quite
sure that the rule of an old adviser of mine
is good: When yOUr sermon is written,
leave out the Introduction - | think the
writer should address himself at once 10
the real subject. | do not think that
there is any reason why he should tell
people how he came TO think of il, or how
he learned about it, or i'll any way why he
is talking about it. Either il is important
or it is not II il is not, he should not be
speaking Of it; if it is, its Importance will
establish itself As he goes on
begin, then, and make, as clearly and
distinctly as | can, in the very outset Of
what have to say. u statement Of my OBJ
ject, what | expect 10 prove or what
have To tell. And, as / have intimated,
am hurt and troubled, il, while | am en-
gagged in doing this, man comes in who
wants to talk to me about normal school
in Berthe Richards county, or about the
education Of widows at Thibet. | like to
have fair chance at that statement, and
like 10 do this alone, with my own hand
and my own pen.
Then, if the fortune Of war Obliges me
TO leave of, after l have made this initial
statement, am willing t. accept the for
tunes OF war and to leave Off. But think
l had rather go on and forge my iron at
one heat, instead of being obliged 10 put it
back into the Goals and heat il again.
After this beginning am perfectly will
ling 10 work with All ananuensis, and, in
fact, | generally do. | am disposed to
think that the habit of using the voice in
the composition of a sermon is a good one,
as holding one TO the normal conditions of
the sermon, which, rs | said, are the con
ditions Of any simple public address. OF
course a man can train himself to do this
when he is writing with his own hand;
but if he is walking up and down the
room with an intelligent amanuenss, he
is, SO TO speak, trying his address in such
way that he at least hears il. And the
audience which is To be has the advantage
that the very words which they listen To
have been already formed upon the ear
and have reyerberated upon the ear drum
Of somebody.
In practice | find that the ordinary ad-
dress of half an hour in length can be put
on paper with perfect ease in two such
sessions as | describe. In practice, also,
/ like 10 write myself in the first of these
.Ssions, and use the hard Of an accom-
Ilshed and experienced amanuensis for
the second. But there is no reason known
TO me why the whole address should not
be written AT one session; and, like other
men in my profession, have frequently
fotnd il more convenient to do sO.-Rev

Justice Woods Successor.

In connection with Ghe probable choice
OF a successor to the late Justice Woods,
oJ the United States Supreme Court, it
Is remarked that some of tb" candidates
already named will proba be handi-
capped by the fact that tney are from
States which now have one or more rep
rescntatives on the supreme bench, and
candidate from State having no such
representative will most likely be pre-
ferrcd. While Justice Woods lived
ONO had three of her sons in the Su-
Fremc Court-the Chief Justice and
Justices Matthews and Woods, though
the latter nomlnally was appointed from
the South, wherc he had lived but O
brief time before his elevation to the
highest of our judicial tribunals. So
ONO Is not likely to be favored again,
which will count Judge Hoadly out. OF
the othor associate justices the senior,
Judge Miller, is from Iowu; the next.
Justice Field, from California; Justice
Bradley, from New Jersey, Justice Har-
Ian, from kentucky, Justice Gray, from
Massachusetts and Justice Blatchford
from New York. The South alone of
all sections OF our country being entirely
unrepresented, many think a candidate
from any part OF the South, kentucky
excepted because that State already has
a representative on the Supreme Court
bench in Judge Harlan--is most likely
to be the successful one.
-Four of the present judges-the Chief
Justice, Justices Miller, Field and
Bradley-are now old enough to be
eligible for retirement whenever they
feel disposed to profit by the law per
mitting them to retire on full salary,
Except the four named and Justice
Harlan, who is now but 81 years of age,
none of the present justice have served
as long as ten years. Chief Justice
Waite and Justices Miller and Field are
each II years old, and Justice Bradley

Resources of Russia.

The understanding of people in gener-
al is that Russia, head over heels in
debt, finds it difficult to raise money to
keep the wheels of government moving.
The history of the most recent attempt
at st. Petersburg to raise money dis
proves this and indicates quito differ
ent state of facts. 1t was at first pro
posed that the new popular loan should
be about $30,000,000. Subscriptions
were call for, and on the 10Th ult. It was
announced that ten times the sum re-
quired had been offered. Three days
later dispatches from ST. Petersburg
stated that the enormous sum of 81 200,
100000 had been offered, and that the
government would take only 800, Co.,
O00 1t is worthy of being noted that
simultaneously with this loan rumors oil
q warlike nature are heard and that O
war feeling not previously existing il
manifesting itself at So. Petersburg.

| All important Lett, Defining the Powers
OF the Commission as to Certain Cases.
The Interstate Commission has made
public an important letter addressed to
| the Minnesota Northwestern Railroad
Company, defining the powers OF the
commission as to certain cases and eX
planning why it is found impossible to
accedc ut once to the urgent appeal OF
the road for relief from the long and
short haul clause of the law.
Tho lett,r, written by Cha 'rman
Cooley, says 1t is gcnorally accepted that
the fourth section was designed to cS-
tablish the general law that more must
not be charged for Il shorter than Gor Il
longer haul and to permit exceptions
IN special and peculiar cases only. Before
the passage OF the law railroads were the
sole Judges rs TO what circumstances or
conditions justified such practice and
the law evidently meant to take this dis
crctionary power out of the hands Of the
railroads and was passed in the belief
that incidental injuries resulting from
It's enforcement would be more than
offset by advantages in the interest of
the public good. The commission is as
much bound by the law as are the car
rlcrs, and has power of discrimination
only 50 far as it is its duty to do. Tho
law cOntcmplutCS that there may be
some special cases in which general good
requires suspension. But such cases are
obviously exceptional ones. Special and
peculiar circumstances and where only
general causes operate the general Law

that any suspension granted must be

sary. The ]urisd Iction Of the commits
sion was meant to be closely restricted
and 1t can grant no suspension simply
on the apprehension that enforcement
would prove harmful or upon the un-
established assertion that it has done SO.
Congress must necessarily have realized
that some disturbances and injury would
be caused by the law and Congress alone
can be looked TO for the remedy or
notifications. The claim that tho com

EARTHQUAKES ARE COMMON.
We Have Always Had Them and May EN-
pect Many More.
lFrom the New Yorl, TribuneJ

From the New York TribuncJ
An educator who las given much
study to earthquakes and volcanoes is
Professor John *. Rccs, of Columbia
college He is stoutly built man of
perhaps thlrty-iivc, with round and
chubby face II black mustache and more
the air of business man than student.
Talking with me in the Lincoln National
Bank the othor day, he remarked that in
long scrlcS of years each section Of the
country was visited by about the same
average number of earthquake shocks.
"Iho reason any new shock appears
phenomenal Is because the people forget
the former ones" said tho professor.
"We have kept records of shocks in
New England and the Middle States, and
find that they come year in and year out
with about the same regularity. The
shock that are being reported from the
west appear phenomenal to the people
out there because they have no records
back of n period of forty or fifty wears,
and within that period have forgotten
occurrences Of the same kind or have
failed to record them. If some old miner
years he can tell them. AS to the vol
knowledge except from the newspapers.
The evidences of old volcanic eruptions
exist all along tho mountain ranges in
Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Nevada
up to Oregon. l believe they arc most
numerous in Nevada"
When asked what tho relative effect
would be on New York city of shock
like that experienced by Charleston,
Professor Rees replied in substance: "In
loss Of life and property / should say
the disaster would be hundred fold
greater. There is SO much more prop
crty and SO many more people in small
compass in this city that the results
would be greater in proportion. Build
lngs in this city are run up TO enormous
heights, with great sheet iron facings.
The strcets, especially in the lowor part
Of tho city, during the day time, are
crowded with people, and the falling of
these decorative parts Of structures
would be exceedingly disastrous to life
and limb. Tho fact that New York
building is mostly done on rock founda-
tion and that nearly all the great struc-
lures are put together with Portland
cement instead Of mortar might save the
destruction of much valuable property,
but nll the cheaply built structures would
suffer. The use of Portland cement has
made buildings 50 solid that they can
only be torn down by the use of explo-
sives. Even in such structures an earth
quake like that at Charleston would
break the window caps and lintels, and
prove very destructive"
